We invite you to help commemorate the opening of Ridgeline Middle School with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house.
August 28, 2025
4:30 - 6 p.m.
1100 N. 15th St., Windsor, CO
The ceremony will include brief remarks by school officials, an official ribbon cutting, light refreshments, and open house activities. The event is free and open to the public.
The project is the result of the community-supported, $271-million bond package in November 2022. We want to offer a heartfelt thank you to our community for investing in this for our students.
The Need
Windsor Middle School is serving 809 students in a building intended for 700 students. In addition to capacity challenges, 36,172 sq. ft. of Windsor Middle School is inoperable. Severance Middle School is now serving at 126% core building capacity (755 students served for a 600-student building).
Highlights
This project envisions the construction of an additional middle school at a site off of 15th Street, a direct result of community feedback. We're working to purchase a 40-acre site, located adjacent to a future town park, from the Town of Windsor. The Board looks to extend the useful life of the existing Windsor Middle building through repairs, continuing as a middle school, as well as construct an addition to Severance Middle.
